Great work as usual John. I will probably pull mine for you to look over after abusing them for a couple days this month. May go ahead and do what we talked about.

how would the 40mm work out if i wanted to do some tarmac use in the Merkur? Should i opt for a second set optimized for broken pavement (hillclimbs)

Is that BMW top mount off centered? Would correct camber easily? I think Derik's Reiger's are offset and maybe a good starting point?

I gotta get JVL some pics of my car. We talked about it last weekend when I was down at the shop, but given the small hole in the BMW strut tops, to be actually worth doing, that hole may need to be opened up some.

Yeah, the Reiger top plates are offset a bunch. I just aligned his car again last night, at rally ride height it is -.9 degrees camber in the front, 6.5 degrees caster. Ther rears I set to -.25 camber at ride height.

I am pretty sure he is running standard 325 front knuckles, and M rear arms.

Damn, that's some pretty good negative camber up front! Any chance you know the front ride height setting or you managed to take some pictures? smiling smiley

He runs the car pretty low, It is probably 1" over stock at the most.
